Les Chardons Bleus de la Turballe

As well as being right next to an Atlantic beach, this parc has an indoor swimming pool with paddling pool, plus an outdoor pool, a paddling area and two waterslides. Children will love spending their time by the water here – when they aren’t busy at the kid’s club or swinging in the playground, that is.

This lovely parc’s restaurant offers you the chance to sample many local specialities as well as firm family favourites: even picky eaters will be catered for here! Feeling a little snackish or thirsty? Head to the snack bar for cocktails, ice cream and other sweet treats. You’ve also got the opportunity to order fresh bread and pastries from the bakery, and take-away treats to enjoy at your place.

We’ve gathered together everything you need to know about your parc in one handy place. From what to know before you arrive, to those all -important guidelines to make your stay on parc as smooth as possible. Take a minute to get up to speed on your new summer home.

From yoga to cycle hire, aqua aerobics to boules, there’s always something to pass the time and reconnect at this lovely parc - not to mention its own kids’ clubs to keep your little ones busy.

Les Chardons Bleus de la Turballe is located in the lovely, unspoilt countryside of the Loire Atlantic region. It’s close to Brière Regional Natural Park, a wetland reserve rich with canals and a wide variety of birds. It’s also home to the medieval town of Clisson, where the area’s dry white Muscadet wine is made.

The medieval town of Guérande is around a 15-minute drive from the parc. It’s a pretty place to wander round, with its cobbled streets, 15th century ramparts and stone gateways. Head to the open areas around the impressive Collegiate Church of Saint Aubin and you’ll find lots of lovely spots to enjoy a meal or a drink.
